Gerald is one of the premier vocalists and teachers based in the Los Angeles area. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him and studying with him over the years. Today he taught my 13 year old son for the first time and it was transformative. I highly recommend him to singers of all ages, all levels, and across all genres. It is well worth the investment.

Very at ease, very comfortable, good learning environment. Gerald is great to work with. After a couple of adjustments, I already noticed an improvement which gave Paul more confidence; such a nice person too. It was really fun at the end when he jumped in and sang with us both. Looking forward to the next lesson. 💗

Gerald is an incredible wealth of knowledge! He knows the voice inside and out! He is a master of style and repertoire! I was trained classically all through my bachelor’s and masters degrees and studying with Gerald has helped me understand how to sing with ease in any genre! Very grateful to have met him!

Gerald’s expertise in teaching sight singing is unmatched. I’ve never worked with anyone who explains it so simply and in an easily accessible way. He’s also an incredible vocal coach that’s an expert at fine tuning vocal performance and promoting healthy singing habits to protect longevity.

Singing with Gerald is a joyous experience. As well as being extremely knowledgeable and resourceful, he is patient, kind and supportive. He creates a safe space where mistakes aren’t a big deal, and it’s easy to grow. The way Gerald teaches gives me the freedom to be completely open and unworried about hitting the wrong notes. It’s the biggest gift ever. And tons of fun.

I started taking lessons with Gerald and within a few weeks my voice was able to do what seemed impossible after years of vocal training! His vocal technique training works across all genres and with all skill levels. Working with Gerald is a wonderfully warm and safe experience where I can express my vocal interests and styles freely.

Gerald is a vocal coach master. He knows exactly how to identify your vocal strengths & build upon them. Any vocal student will learn, grow, and be stretched yet with utmost relaxation & comfort. You will notice your own musicianship increase before your very eyes. Could go on and on. Gerald is a singing treasure & an extraordinary coach.

My voice has felt like it's been in a state of strife for a little over a year. I tried many voice teachers and specialists only to still feel like I was at square one, sounding and feeling like a beginner singer. Taking a lesson with Gerald was my last shot. I told myself that if I didn't find the answers I was looking for in this lesson, maybe my singing career was finally done and I need to finally let it go.

Thank God for Gerald. Not only did I find a safe place to sound "awful" and share my heart/emotions on my vocal journey, but I was met with empathy, understanding, vocal wisdom, and a HUGE confidence boost. I listened back to my recorded lesson and I heard my voice do things it wasn't even doing prior to the stress it had suffered. I could finally hear ME in my singing again!

Gerald has a wealth of knowledge and a desire to truly help students. If I could rate more than five stars...
